Terry,
They might be able to photo copy them for you, I know it's not the same as the original or a copy of the original, I am not sure what equipment they have there now, I went there (before refurbishment) and looked at some old photo's, they couldn't scan them, they didn't have a scanner, but they might have one now, the only other way would be to take photo's of the photo's if you know what I mean, I am sure they will get back to you and let you know what they can send you, I got a photo copy print of a building that was in Bootle, gone a long time ago, but I posted it on the bootlehistory website, and the members on there were delighted with it.
Did you explain in your e-mail to them that you don't live close enough to visit?
Jan
